Ecosystems
What do the words Biotic and Abiotic mean and give one example of each
B: Living A:Non-living
plant or animals water,sand,rock
this system consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach and intestines
Digestive
an ice cube melting in someones hand is what form of heat transfer
conduction
what three tools can be used to measure wind direction
flag, sock, vane
dimples are an example of what trait
inherited
What do the words terrestrial and aquatic mean? Give one ecosystem of each
T: Land Based A: Water Based
Grassland, Forest Pond, Ocean, Estaury
this system is consists of the brain, nerves, and spinal cord and is responsible for sending and receiving messages through the entire body.
Nervous
heat always transfers from ______ object to _______ object until both objects are ____________
hot, cold, same temp
this tool is best used to measure changes in weather
barometer
explain how fronts are formed
to air masses collide
This ecosystem has both fresh and salt water (brackish) and is the most nutrient rich
Estuary
These two systems work together to support protect and help our bodies move
skeletal and muscular
A space heater can heat up an entire small room due to this form of heat transfer
radiation
these two clouds are grey and will typically predict precipitation and storms
stratus and cumulonimbus
explain the gulf stream and what time of year you are most likely to experience it
unusually warm water temperatures up the east coast, warming areas closer to the shore while areas inland stay cooler. Typically happens in the winter
Algae---->Plankton----->Small Fish------> Shark
What will happen to the other 3 organisms if the small fish population decreases
Algae will decrease, plankton will increase, shark will decrease
these two systems work together to expel waste from our bodies
Respiratory (CO2) and Digestive (through the intestines)
This form of heat transfer is is responsible for the creation of wind and the movement of weather systems
convections
What is the difference between evaporation and condensation.
Evaporation- liquid to gas and requires heat
Condensation- gas to liquid and requires cool
What type of change is salt dissolving into water
Physical
Define producer, consumer and decomposer
P:makes own food
C:eats other organisms
D:Breaks down dead or decaying organisms
(if you said eat for decomposer its wrong!)
Explain the relationship between the cardiovascular system and the skeletal system, other than the skeletal system protects the heart
Bones produce bone marrow, where red blood cells are created. Red blood cells are part of the cardiovascular system and carry oxygen through the body.
Describe the heat transfer.
A hard boiled ogg on the stove
The pot is heated by the stove through conduction, then the water boils to cook the egg through convection
These two parts of the water cycle are most likely to refill a lake at the bottom of a mountain
precipitation and runoff
What is the difference between a land breeze and seas breeze. I need time of day as well
L: Breeze from land to the seas at night because water is warmer than the land
S: Breeze blows from the sea to the land during the day because the land is warmer than the sea
